Department Spotlight - Amarillo College Library
When you think of us at the Library, we’d love if the first word that came to mind was helpful. Or, perhaps friendly. We’ll take that one too.
At both Amarillo College libraries, our goal is for everyone to walk away having received the assistance they needed. We’ve helped students, faculty and staff to discover the perfect research article, locate books to supplement a lesson, find an exciting new fiction read, check out an internet hotspot or calculator, navigate Blackboard (or a host of other AC systems) and more. Best of all? It’s all free for you and our students.
What we offer:
- Research & citation help for students, faculty, and staff
- We have access to over 100 databases, plus books in both locations
- Textbooks and graphing calculators for students
- In-person & video instruction for courses and/or assignments by faculty request
- LibGuides for courses and/or assignments by faculty request
- Assistance in building a research assignment for faculty
- Navigation assistance for Blackboard, PrintHub, Google Docs, Microsoft Office products (and more) for students
- Interlibrary Loan material requests for faculty and staff
- A Reserve section for classroom materials by faculty request
- Copyright information for students, faculty, and staff
- Newly expanded: Fiction and non-fiction reads for students, faculty, and staff
Did you know we also have a small collection of children’s picture books? We began this collection for our Education students, but it has also proven helpful for the busy families of our students and staff.
Please help us continue to build a collection that serves our students by requesting an item. If you’d like to request a database, please contact our Director, Emily Gilbert.
